Where did you start?

[Rahnevyn]

Just as the question says, where did you start your first PC? (For those of you newer than the "hometown" vs. "origin" feature, I'm looking for the location your character pointed to out of the Hall of Kings, not your hometown you selected in chargen.)

Answer for your very first character when you were a brand new newbie, but if you had a situation where your first character started in Red Storm but died within two hours to a large black beetle, and then your first long-lived character was in Tuluk, feel free to leave a comment and say so.

First character was Allanak. First long-lived character was also Allanak.

[Zoan]

Red Storm, because Ashes told me to play there with him. I think I was a Ranger? I sat in the Storm's End spamming barrier and Ashes told me that if I'm going to do that, at least roleplay a reason to do it, and show you're doing it.

"But I'm doing it, that means I'm doing it."

"No no, man. Think it. feel it."

That's when I became disenchanted with playing IRE games.

My first character was a Warrior/Scavenger in the T'zai Byn. Lived to be just over 7 days played, before I stored him because I wanted to try out Tuluk.

To clarify: Allanak.

[bcw81]

First character was a necker pickpocket born in Allanak proper.

First character that lived past 10 hours was a necker assassin that joined the Byn in Allanak and was immediately transferred north. Died the week I came back to Allanak after my year was up.

[Clan Des Tine]

Yeah, that didn't happen.

[BadSkeelz]

First character was Allanak. First long-lived character was also Allanak.

[Barsook]

Allanak but longest lived in Tuluk

[LauraMars]

Tuluk.

First long lived character (and the one that hooked me) was a half elf from the labyrinth, though.

[Fujikoma]

First character was in the labrynth, assassin/thug, lived three RL hours, saw the well, killed by murderous NPC after putting on a nifty bone helm he found in a pile of abandoned loot.

Second character started in Luir's, lived almost an IG year.

Third character Tuluk, but only spent about maybe a RL day there, lived a little more than an IG year.

[manonfire]

First character I can recall was in Allanak.

Human warrior, hit the Byn, killed during sparring by a mercy-on chop to the head from Henna.

[Symphony]

First character of mine was a Ranger under Sujaal and Kune in Tuluk way, way back when.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

I started in Tuluk, but back then I think the point option said Friel's Rest - this was before the Liberation by some RL years, in 99 or 00.

First long lived character was in Allanak. Humorously, my one and only elf. He joined Kurac though, and only rarely showed up in Allanak thereafter, so I don't know what the real answer here should be.

When I started playing in December of 1993, players were limited to having no more than three characters. I promptly made two. Both started in Tuluk. The first got lost since my unix telnet client had no scroll back. I was about to ask this copper skinned dwarf with a where I could quit and soon didn't need to anymore. The second was a dwarf that joined a clan that decided to besiege Allanak. Yeah, that didn't work out too well either.

[Bushranger]

It's been so long I can't remember. My first character might have been old Tuluk or Allanak. They were so short lived I can't recall which came first. I only had one character in old Tuluk with most of the others coming from Allanak or Red Storm.

The first character I really got into (was not long lived) started in Red Storm after I responded to an advertisement on the old old forums for a ranger's apprentice to the Mul named Flower. It is at least the first character I can recall any details about as this was all before the account system.

[HavokBlue]

First character was a Rinthi elf that fell down a hole and died in 2 hours. Second was a Rinthi elf that lived maybe a month?

My only really long-lived character was my third, a Kuraci half-breed that really should have died on multiple occasions and made it something like six months before I stored him.

[KankWhisperer]

Started out henching for Ysania in tuluk.

[Molten Heart]

Started out in Allanak but my character's backstory was that he was from the Northlands (Pre New Tuluk).

[mansa]

Allanak.

Some immortal jumped into an npc in the market and showed me around and taught me the quick basics.

I logged in later and talked with the same npc and it didn't respond anymore.



I think they were the fire juggler

[fourTwenty]

Storm.

Spent about 2RL hours figuring myself out and getting equiped.
Promptly left the gates, got lost in a storm, why can I go up here?
*beep*
Welcome to Armageddon!

[slvrmoontiger]

Tuluk Human Ranger... Blech went out and found I think it was a ginka they are fighting plants I think... Went to it thought I could pick off the fruit and got attacked.... Then while fleeing ran into an NPC halfling hunter that killed him in such an overkill way I was completely stunned.

Second character lived longer... I think it was a half-giant ranger (back when you didn't need karma for HGs) That one lasted a lot longer.

[MeTekillot]

First character was an Allanak burglar who wandered into the 'rinth, murdering hookers and urchins and selling their corpses.

[Pale Horse]

Human assassin in Red Storm.  Wandered into the alleys.

[boog]

Tuluk! Even though she lived in both Allanak and Luir's for quite some time in her nearly year of being alive.

[racurtne]

My first character didn't last long, but he was in Allanak. Murdered by a player while LD on the road just beyond the Merchant's gate. Epic.

My first long-lived character was also in Allanak. I was terribly off-peak and figured Allanak would have the highest population.
